Houghton Lectures

Henry Houghton served for 25 years as Head of the Department of Meteorology (which became the Department of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography). During
that long period, the Department established an unsurpassed standard of excellence in
these fields.

Houghton Lectures are supported every year by the Fund. Outstanding scientists from
around the world are invited to visit for periods ranging from a week to a semester. Typically, they have given short-courses ranging from 3 to 20 lectures on some topic of
interest to students and faculty. Houghton Lecturer
recommendations are welcome at all times. Contact
John Marshall with your suggestions.
